So, I got into this whole Egyptian Tarot thing a while back, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started off just curious, you know? Like, what’s the deal with these cards? I picked up a deck, started messing around, trying to figure out what they meant.
At first, it was all so confusing. Pictures of ancient gods, weird symbols – it felt like I was trying to decode some ancient language. I remember spreading the cards out on my coffee table, just staring at them, feeling totally lost. There are 22 major arcana cards, and they are full of meaning. I tried to find some help online, but most of it was way too complicated. All these big words and historical stuff, and I just wanted to know what the cards were trying to tell me.
But then I started to see patterns. Like, certain symbols kept popping up, and I started to get a feel for the vibe of each card. I’d pull a card in the morning, just to see what the day might hold, and sometimes it was spot on. Other times, not so much. I also got the hang of the minor arcana cards. They also carry a lot of messages and represent different situations.
Diving Deeper into Symbols
- The Ankh: This one showed up a lot. It’s like a cross with a loop on top. I figured out it’s about life, eternal life, that kind of thing.
- The Eye of Horus: This one’s a bit creepy, but it’s about protection and good health. I kinda liked having this one show up.
- The Scarab: A beetle, which I thought was weird at first. But it’s all about rebirth and transformation, which makes sense if you think about how beetles roll their dung balls.
The more I practiced, the more I felt like I was actually communicating with something, you know? It wasn’t just about predicting the future or whatever. It was more like the cards were helping me understand myself, my own thoughts and feelings. Like, they were a mirror reflecting back at me.
I even started doing readings for my friends, just for fun. They were skeptical at first, but some of them got really into it. I remember one time, my friend was going through a tough breakup, and I pulled some cards for her. They were all about letting go of the past and moving on, and she said it really helped her see things in a new light.
It’s not like I’m some kind of expert now, but I definitely feel more connected to the cards, more in tune with their energy. It’s like we’ve got our own little language going on. It’s pretty cool, to be honest. And hey, it’s way more interesting than just scrolling through my phone all day.
It’s all about intuition, you know? Just trusting your gut. It’s not about memorizing some rule book. It’s about feeling the energy of the cards and letting them speak to you. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting to get so much out of a bunch of old cards with pictures of Egyptian guys on them. I think you should definitely try.
